Orale Mexican Kitchen

Tacos are Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Does Orale Mexican Kitchen offer a mouthwatering array of taco stuffings and observe the beloved tradition of Taco Tuesdays? Of course they do, but this hot spot devoted to elevating the art of scrumptious street food goes a lot further to ensure that guests enjoy not only culinary delights with Mexican-American flair, but also an ambience that offers a unique and adventurous outing for anyone seeking great eats in Downtown Jersey City.

What sets Orale Mexican Kitchen apart from the pack? Here are a few reasons you’ll want to beat feet over to Jersey City to sample some tasty tacos and signature cocktails.

Mouth-splosions

The defining element of any restaurant is cuisine, and Orale Mexican Kitchen does not disappoint, thanks to a menu featuring Mexican comfort food with a modern, American twist. Whether you’re chowing on zesty Carolina BBQ Nachos, sweet and savory Coconut Seafood Mixote, or decadent Carnitas Tacos with perfectly salted and crisped pork belly, you’re going to get a mouthful of tantalizing taste. Guests will also enjoy weekly events like Paella Mondays and Sunday brunch.

It gets even better, though, when you add in signature cocktails and spirits. You can definitely go for classic appeal by pairing your lime-and-chipotle-spiced halibut tacos with typical frosty cervezas or frozen margaritas, but have you ever considered what the marriage of a citrusy grapefruit vodka cocktail and bright and refreshing lobster and shrimp ceviche might do to your taste buds? To call it a flavor explosion would hardly suffice – it’s like carpet bombing your mouth with unicorns. Follow it up with a rich and warming tequila flight to really get the party started.

Buttons and Bows

Orale Mexican Kitchen has a lot more to offer than incredible eats, although that would be enough to satisfy some patrons. For those seeking adventures in dining, this establishment is like a spicy piñata of ambience.

The walls are festooned with street-style graffiti and neon art, including one large sign by renowned street artists K-Nor and Adam Kiyoshi Fujita urging guests to “eat my taco”. This modern décor is paired with rustic brick walls, antique-y carriage lights, and ornate, pressed tin ceilings for a mix of modern and traditional styles that endearingly transcends the sum of its parts.

Feeling the Flair

We’re not talking about 37 pieces of flair on each server’s suspenders. We’re talking about an attitude that encompasses fun and frivolity, and service that tops the charts. At Orale Mexican Kitchen, the vibe is funky and unique. Colorful displays featuring skull art alongside a wall of cubbies stocked with soccer balls speaks to a feel for the abstract and absurd. You can’t help but smile when you enter this one-of-a-kind eatery, and your grin will only grow as you sample the food, sip the drinks, and join the daily fiesta at Orale Mexican Kitchen.
